Crash with mpeg2dec

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When mpeg2dec plugin is used, gst crashes. Using the FFmpeg mpeg2 decoder 
works fine.

For now, the fix has been to exclude this plugin + associated dependencies 
from the installer. But it should be addressed.

The following video, for example, causes the mpeg2dec plugin to crash:

If you examine the stacktrace, you'll see that it's crashing inside of libmpeg2-
0.dll.

My most probable conclusion is that libmpeg2 didn't compile correctly using gcc 
4.4.3. A copy of the dll from the previous release which was compiled with a 
different version of gcc should confirm if this is the case or not.

It seems that I've confirmed that it's a libmpeg2 issue. Copying over the older
libmpeg2 build on top of the new one and running mpeg2 videos worked. I'll 
examine
what's going on and try to find the proper fix. I'd appreciate some help.

I believe I have this fixed as of r541
(http://code.google.com/p/ossbuild/source/detail?r=541). If someone else could
confirm this, please let me know and then I'll close this out.
